Chapter 1
Author: Dream Searcher
They said marriage was the tomb of love. I thought it was great. I’d rather have a comfortable resting place than die without a grave, exposed to the elements.
After two months of meticulous sewing, I finally finished my bridal gown.
It dazzled brightly under the light. I imagined myself in it—a few days from now, walking down the aisle with the man I loved—and smiled.
I had been waiting for this day since I was 19. After six years, I was finally going to rest in this tomb of love at the age of 25.
My dream shattered overnight.
Cherry Birkin, my assistant, called and asked, “Tay-Tay! Mr. Kennedy came this morning and took the bridal gown. He’s bringing it home, right?”
Still groggy, I replied, “He took my gown?”
“Yeah. Um, do you know anything about that?”
“I’ll ask him about it now.”
My mind cleared slightly, but I still couldn’t figure out his reason.
Our house was already filled with things for the event. There was no space for the gown, so I had planned to take it home the day before the wedding.
Edward didn’t pick up his phone. I was about to call again when he called first.
“Did you take the gown, Ed?” I asked straight away.
“I did.”
He sounded exhausted. His reply came out as a groan, and I felt a pang of worry.
“Are you alright? You sound under the weather,” I said.
